Welcome to SEC Country’s daily War Eagle Wakeup, a rundown of everything happening in Auburn football and Auburn Tigers athletics with Lauren Shute. Today, we discuss Montravius Adams’ takeover of Mobile, a former Tiger’s voice and the importance of moms to football players.

Montravius Adams continues dominating

Auburn fans saw just how talented Adams was in his final season. The senior captain took over games, whether he was batting down opposing quarterbacks’ passes or scooping fumbles and scoring. And he’s not done yet.

The 2017 Reese’s Senior Bowl is happening this Saturday, but the bowl really began on Tuesday. Players weighed in and participated in their first practices in front of hundreds of NFL scouts in Mobile, Ala.

And it was a great day to be Mon Adams.

The Georgia native continues to show why he be on the brink of a long, successful NFL career. Adams turned the heads of several important scouts and NFL personnel on his initial day in Mobile.

This weekend, the trio will have their chance to appear in front of NFL scouts and have another shot to make Auburn fans proud.

NFL Network will air the game at 1:30 p.m. CT Saturday.

Spikes participated in a sports and activism panel titled “Protest to Progress: Next Steps” at San Jose State University on Tuesday. Others involved in the talk were former Olympian Tommie Smith, NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, NFL receiver Anquan Boldin, NFL Hall of Famer Jim Brown and former NBA standout Chris Webber.

The group discussed thoughts and ideas, as well as concerns for minorities. Most notably, the group emphasized that communication will be key to progress, even voicing the welcomed prospect of sitting down with newly elected President Donald Trump.

But there might not be one person or group more important than moms.
